//! \section sec_aux Introduction
//!
//! The AUX is a collective description of all the analog peripherals (ADC, comparators, and current source) and
//! the digital modules in the AUX power domain (AUX_PD) such as the sensor controller, timers, time-to-digital
//! converter, etc. AUX_PD is located within the AON voltage domain of the device.
//!
//! The sensor controller has the ability to
//! do its own power and clock management of AUX_PD, independently of the MCU domain. The sensor
//! controller can also continue doing tasks while the MCU subsystem is powered down, but with limited
//! resources compared to the larger MCU domain.
//!
//! The AUX power domain is connected to the MCU system through an asynchronous interface, ensuring
//! that all modules connected to the AUX bus are accessible from the system CPU.
//! Accessing the analog peripherals from the system CPU must be done by using TI-provided
//! drivers to ensure proper control of power management.
//!
//! \note To ease development of program code running on the sensor controller, TI provides a tool
//! chain for writing software for the controller, Sensor Controller Studio (SCS), which is a fully
//! integrated tool consisting of an IDE, compiler, assembler, and linker.
